A finish!

Yep you read that correct ... I have a finish!! My first ambidextrous finish ever! lol ... before my numbness started I had this sweet piece almost finished. Using my left hand I finished the bottom 4 little icons. It was a struggle but a struggle worth it. I love it! Don't look too close though lol

Liberty by Little House Needleworks

stitched on R&R Irish Creme 30 count

using suggested Crescent Colors and GAST

And an update on my health. Still no diagnosis but the numbness is getting better. My right hand and arm now do what they are supposed to do most of the time. I can hold a needle but can't always feel it ... my finger tips are still pretty numb ... but getting better every day! I have another dr appt in September with an eye neurologist ... maybe he can see something the others haven't been able to.

Thank you again so much for all your support, hugs and prayers ... it really has helped!

Off to find L*K Halloween mystery sampler ... hopefully it won't take me months to finish.

I love it Michelle! I have this pattern in my bag of patriotic patterns and want to make it into a little pillow for my grouping some day. Yours is really cute and glad you could finish it with your other hand. Hopefully you are back at full-strength soon in the other one.

I love this design. Looking at your finish gave me a big smile. A big congratulations to you for finishing despite your right hand's not being able to cooperate. Go, Lefty! OK, I'm left-handed, does it show? ;) Best of luck getting a diagnosis and good treatment. I admire your tenacious devotion to stitching.

I am relieved to hear that your symptoms have shown some improvement, Michele... What a scary time for you and your family. I'm so glad you are able to get back to stitching because I know what a stress reliever that can be.

Your Liberty finish is so lovely--I really like the colors in this piece and am so impressed that you can stitch with your left hand... Where there is a will, there is a way!

So good to read that the numbness is slowly going away and that you can use your arm and hand again. That must be such a relief for you. I hope that the next doctor can found out what caused this strange thing.Congratulations on this wonderful finish!

I have been so out of touch. I did not realize you were dealing with a mystery illness. Glad that it appears to be getting a little better ~ My hopes and prayers are with you that your heal fully and that the doctor discovers what you are dealing with. My DH is also dealing with a "mystery" illness and has just started to see a neurologist...wierd.

I am impressed that you were able to complete this project using your other hand, not sure that I could do that...good for you!
